IoT gateway devices play a crucial role in 5G technology, enabling ultra-fast, low-latency connectivity for a wide array of IoT devices, facilitating seamless communication, data exchange, and the proliferation of smart applications across various industries. For example, in April 2023, global 5G wireless connections experienced a notable 76% growth from the end of 2021 to the end of 2022, reaching a total of 1.05 billion connections, as reported by 5G Americas, a US-based industry trade organization. The number is projected to surpass 5.9 billion by the end of 2027. Hence, the increasing adoption of 5G technology is a key driver of the IoT gateway devices market's growth.

Major players in the IoT gateway devices market are innovating by developing specialized products such as aircraft IoT gateways, which provide real-time visibility and monitoring of cargo. These gateways are installed on aircraft to facilitate connectivity, data collection, and communication between onboard systems and external networks. For instance, in March 2024, OnAsset Intelligence Inc., a US-based supply chain asset management company, introduced the Sentry 600 FlightSafe device, the first dedicated aircraft IoT gateway. This device transforms aircraft into virtual connected warehouses, offering immediate visibility and surveillance of cargo hold and cabin conditions. It can detect sensor-equipped shipments, galley carts, and other aircraft assets in real-time. Data collected by the gateway is automatically transmitted to the OnAsset Insight Cloud, enabling personnel to utilize dashboards, set rules and alerts, and integrate data through API functions for continuous analysis. This results in improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced safety and security measures for parked aircraft.

In January 2023, Semtech Corporation, a US-based semiconductor manufacturing company, acquired Sierra Wireless Inc. for $1.2 billion. This acquisition aims to combine the ultra-low power benefits of LoRa (long-range) IoT technology with the higher bandwidth capabilities of cellular technology, positioning Semtech to offer a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Sierra Wireless Inc., based in Canada, is a communications equipment company specializing in manufacturing IoT gateway devices.

The IoT gateway devices market consists of sales of ethernet connectivity components, sensor interfaces, power management ICs, security features, software development kits or middleware, data storage components, real-time clock modules, and external interfaces. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

IoT gateway devices function as intermediaries linking IoT sensors or devices to the cloud or central server. They gather, process, and transmit data from connected devices, often incorporating edge computing capabilities to locally filter and analyze data before transmission. These gateways are essential for facilitating secure, efficient, and reliable communication within IoT ecosystems.

The primary types of IoT gateway devices include consumer Internet of Things (IoT) gateways and industrial or commercial Internet of Things (IoT) gateways. A consumer IoT gateway serves as a conduit between IoT devices and the Internet, enabling communication, data processing, and control for consumers' smart home systems. It encompasses various components such as microcontroller units (MCUs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), sensors, memory, and others, along with multiple connectivity technologies including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Ethernet, Z-Wave, and others.
